Wow what an epic League so far. It's awesome what a community can do without any extra funds.
That's right all the funds that have been paid out, over 200 SBD and 750 Whaleshares, have come from the community through their support on these posts. Any room that is left has been covered by myself with @jphenderson donating the Whaleshares.
So basically with two people plus @enginewitty, @vandigital, and @derekmiller have put on this Beat Battle League for you all.
We absolutely love doing it and will continue to do it for weeks and years to come.
But it would be nice to reward these Steemians for all the time, effort, and work they put into. So if there is any Steemian who love to take this Beat Battle League to the next level and help out the Steemit community in the form of donations, we are on Discord basically 24/7. Dreams Come True Discord channel link here: https://discord.gg/5Qr86Q8
We love putting our time into this and the nice thing is we have a little control over our time.
It is only a matter of time until a Steemian realizes how much real, positive change the League is bringing to the Steemit community and provide additional recognition and rewards for these hard-working Steemians.
That being said here are the current leaderboard standings for the Beat Battle League at http://www.beatbattleleague.com/
@seveaux took down Week Three in his first entry into the Beat Battle League and o weeeeeeeeeeee is some fire.
Take a look at his beat and the others in Week #3 Results here: @chiefmappster/beat-battle-league-week-3-results
With Week #4, we are going to keep it similar to last week with original submissions based off an universal theme.
That is right Steemians, you can be as creative as you like and use whatever you would like in your beat. It just has to resonate with the universal theme of this week.
This week's universal theme is: Loneliness
Loneliness is common among most humans so it should provide an ideal foundation to build your beats off of. This is also a nice extra way to help bring awareness to the fact that people are really lonely these days and face depression sometimes by themselves.
One Steemian movement doing something about this is Voiceshares led by @rideofpassion. They are giving a voice to humans who have and are fighting depression through a token traded on Bitshares called Voiceshares.
Go to @rideofpassion and/or @voiceshares for more information.
This week is extra special because this week's entries will be apart of a new movement in the Steemit community called the Steemit Music League (SML).
Stay tuned tomorrow for a post with more information about how the Beat Battle League will be involved in the Steemit Music League.
The rules are simple in the Beat Battle League.
Just make an original submission based off of the universal theme of Loneliness and use the #beatbattle tag and/or comment your submission on any Beat Battle post.
The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @enginewitty, @vandigital, @derekmiller, and @jphenderson score the submissions based off of:
- Sound Quality,
- Technicality, and
- Creativity.
To make sure our world judging panel has enough time to fully vet each submission, we will accept entries until the Sun rises Sunday morning and announce the winners Monday morning.
The prize pool is as follows:
FIRST PLACE WINNER: 25 SBD and 65 Whaleshares
SECOND PLACE WINNER: 12 SBD and 50 Whaleshares
THIRD PLACE WINNER: 7 SBD and 40 Whaleshares
FOURTH PLACE WINNER: 4 SBD and 30 Whaleshares
FIFTH PLACE WINNER: 2 SBD and 20 Whaleshares
Also, as an additional way to maximize recognition, feedback ,and rewards for the members of the Beat Battle League, every entry into the League will be @buildawhale -ed.
Since there is obvious synergy with @buildawhale, every entry into the Beat Battle League gets nominated into the lot of posts that the @buildawhale Curation Team curates.
They then highlight the most epic posts in a daily Curation Digest that provides critical feedback and 24 hour exposure for the authors nominated.
@sidibeat's Week Three post got curated and was featured in Issue 6 here: @buildawhale/curation-digest-issue-6-part-ii
As you can see we are all about the community we are building and are willing to put our time, resources, and effort to make it happen for these epic Steemit producers.
Good luck this week. We can't wait to see the epic entries this week o weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Whaleshares and Voiceshares are tokens on BitShares. Make sure you have a BitShares Wallet to receive and send them for upvotes on your Steemit posts! They are incredible movements here on Steemit inspiring real, positive change.
